Brit police chief Mark Rowley's sent a letter to media editors urging them to 'think carefully' before they publish any information. And it seems permission for the dig could be withdrawn if information's leaked.

I suspect there had to be some announcement though. British media watch that resort like a hawk and they would have found out something was going on. There's still huge interest in Madelaine's case in the UK - this dig is headline news nationwide.

I do hope this little girl can be found one day.

We 'embraced' the missing Bob Harrod case as requested but 6 years on, are still waiting for further guidance

I am hoping the second speaker listed here, David Daniels, is lending his company's radar expertise. I suspect it may be the case. Their technology has been used on some very high profile UK cases and he has trained police search teams across the world, and is very skilled.

"British police have reportedly been refused permission to search the homes of three burglary suspects and interview them as part of an investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Local media in Portugal have refused a Metropolitan Police plea to search the homes of three men who used to work at the Ocean Complex, where the McCann family were staying at the time Madeleine vanished and who are suspected of a number of break-ins in the weeks leading up to her disappearance, Sky News has reported.

Sky News crime reporter Martin Brunt said the local press was claiming that Portuguese police had refused to let Scotland Yard search the homes of three men who used to work at the Ocean Complex at the time the three year-old vanished.

He added that the men were "not necessarily" suspects in her disappearance but were potentially linked to "a number of break-ins" in the period before Madeleine disappeared.

Mr Brunt also said that disagreements over leaks to the media may delay planned digging work by detectives working on the case.

He said: "The Portuguese are making it very clear that they were not happy with journalists being briefed.

"It's not something that happens in this country and in fact, the Portuguese authorities, according to the Scotland Yard message last night, had threatened to stop any of the work once it begins if they hear that Scotland Yard are talking to reporters."

The British police have not announced digs, they have announced they have announced they hope to be actively working in portugal soon. The stories about the digs are unconfirmed by either police force and its not certain where the story originated.

Gerry's response was at the weekend before the dig story and was in response to a question about scotland yards investigation not a response to a question about a dig.

The three suspects the media refer to are three unnamed people suspected of breaking into holiday flats in the area. None of scotland yards suspects are believed to have died. The only two people named as suspects in the media who have died are hewlett and monteiro, but neither of these appear to be suspects in the eyes of scotland yard since they were dead or in hospital at the time of the last attack reported and neither matches the description. There has been nothing to suggest they were suspected of burglaries in the area.

The maps are oriented in the opposite direction, but from what I can make out "search area 1" is extremely close to the location of the smith sighting, and search areas 2 and 3 between that location and the beach:
